Re: CX-3 in Sydney

They must all be watching those oz u tube car reviews by john codogan. He doesn't pull any punches but just loves Mazda's. I think he is seriously funny. He seem to hate German "shit box's" watch him. You'll be hooked

Re: Not bad for a petrol

That's nothing. Check out attachment 66 mpg. 30mins journey on mainly B roads with a little dual carrageway. Gotta be a record. It is for me anyway. Duel carrageway was actually the worst for mpg. Engine much prefers 45 to 55 mph for economy

Re: Sat Nav Again

Have to say I find the sat nav faultless. Use it every day about 6 destinations for work purposes about town and outlying rural roads and occassionaly further afield. always takes me to the correct postal address via a reasonable route. Voice control is a bit hit or miss so don't use that much. I ha...

Re: Cruise Control speed setting 1 mph out.

Santa, I don't know what spec the Optimum is, but I would guess it has 16" wheels. All the people who say there HUD is showing 1mph faster have 18" wheels. The difference in the overall circumference is 1" bigger on an 18" wheel. If the speedo has been based on revolutions of th...

Re: Cruise Control speed setting 1 mph out.

Hi, I know its not much but when I set the cruise control, say to 70, the car mph according to the HUD and Dash display are 71. I know it's easily solved by setting the Cruise to 69 but it just seems a bit odd. Any ideas? Same. I think it is just the odd way the design engineer programmed it. Doesn...

Re: Goodbye CX3!

Totally disagree about interior quality - Sport Nav outshines some friends' cars (Mercs BMWs). I used to have a Renault Captur (by the way the new Captur looks tired and old) but I didn't hang around on their forum to moan and groan after I changed to the CX3. Hope Vauxhall have sorted their fire i...

Honestjohn owners survey

Any one read the above survey. CX-3 voted most reliable SUV and 2nd most reliable car overall. 6th best rated crossover just let down by practically issues. Wow I'm impressed anyway. I'm not sure if this is a live survey or not so results may be fluctuating. See link below http://honestjohncoukltd.c...
